Chapter 8: Sawamura's Draft
Start school, divide into classes~
The friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School are busy with these things, and they are already familiar with them.
It's done in no time!
Afternoon.
The players of the baseball club meet at Field A.
According to the original process, they should still be resting at this time.
But there was no way, and this year, Seido High School came to the end of the spring Koshien schedule. By the time they returned, the Tokyo Spring Tournament had already begun.
If it weren't for Seido High School in Koshien, where they were directly selected as seeds, and only participated in the third round, they would have been eliminated.
The players didn't even have time to dissipate the accumulated fatigue in their bodies, so they had to devote themselves to intensive training.
Fortunately, it is only the first army that is forced to train, and the players of the other second and third armies do not need to be in such a hurry.
Of course, they were not idle.
As assistants to the coaches, they will help assess the draft of new players.
Presiding over the draft was Vice Minister Rei Takashima, who looked at the more than 100 people standing in front of her with pride.
She dug up 1/3 of the place herself.
With the successive dominance of the country last summer and this spring, Seido High School's reputation has also risen, and the players she values rarely refuse.
In this group of people, there are many good players. Some of them even showed actual results even when they were in middle school.
For example, by the well smoked, for example, to form a general.
On the other side, Sawamura and the others, led by Kazuya Miyuki, went to Court A to find a feeling.
Their most important task now is to recover their physical condition, in the hope that they will be able to recover all their strength before the official match begins.
"Have you seen the group?"
Kuramochi said gloatingly.
"Look!"
"Group D is really amazing!"
"I didn't expect those two teams to get together."
"How are you still in the mood to gloat? Staying together means that one of them is bound to not be seeded. Think carefully about which group this team is divided into, which group is really bloody. ”
"That's true."
was said by Miyukiichi, Kurachi's face couldn't help but wrinkle.
Inagi, who returned from Koshien, will meet the third high school of the city university in the game on the nineth.
Both are the top giants in the country in Nishitokyo, and the collision of these two teams. It is bound to be a big battle where a volcano hits the earth.
The players are talking about it.
Superintendent Kataoka is about to be invited back to his university to give a lecture, and at the same time to recharge his batteries.
As the superintendent of Seido High School, the overlord of the country, he felt that he was a little overwhelmed, so he wanted to study.
For this point, the friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School are in favor of raising their hands and feet.
Just remember that there is such a great god as Kataoka standing beside him.
They feel uncomfortable.
Before leaving, Superintendent Kataoka deliberately called Miyukikazu and Sawamura Eijun in front of him.
"In the three days I've been away, I've left the affairs of the team to Coach Ochiai. When I come back on April 5th, I'll let the new contestants introduce themselves. ”
"Yes!"
What can Miyuki say? I can only nod my head in agreement.
"As the captain of the team, I hope you will cooperate well with Coach Ochiai."
"Yes!"
After giving Miyuki, Kataoka turned his head to Sawamura again.
"When the draft comes, you can help Takashima in a while."
Sawamura's eyes widened, and he looked at his own superintendent incredulously.
Joke!
Everyone is obviously doing basic training together to recover their strength.
How could he be in the mood to care about Rausch's draft?
Even if you have a great curiosity about this year's junior students, you won't be able to assess them yourself?
"I ......"
Without much thought, Sawamura Eijun wanted to open his mouth to refuse.
Just kidding, he is also very busy, how can he be in the mood to take care of those juniors.
"Isn't your finger hurt? In the week leading up to the tournament, get your fingers in order. ”
Superintendent Kataoka said unquestionably.
I've been able to compete before, but where does my finger hurt?
Sawamura suddenly felt that there were tens of thousands of grass and mud horse beasts galloping in his chest.
He was speechless.
Let yourself go and help Takashima, Superintendent Kataoka, this can be regarded as a different kind of gentleness.
"As the biggest star in the team, you have to be the referee for the players. It's a good way to motivate the elementary school students, and I think that's what the superintendent probably thinks. ”
After Superintendent Kataoka left, Miyukichi shamelessly did ideological work for Sawamura Eijun.
Sawamura rolled his eyes speechlessly.
It's not that he doesn't understand Kataoka's intentions, it's just that he's just using him as a live advertisement to attract investment.
Want to get ahead at Seido High School? Want to have thousands of followers? Want to be a big star?
There is a living example before your eyes.
This is the most successful product of our Seido High School in recent years, Eijun Sawamura.
If you go to Qingdao High School, you can't suffer if you don't get up, and you can't be fooled......
The image of the advertisement flashed in Sawamura's mind, and he subconsciously shivered and ignored it.
The little ones got together and started their warm-up and training.
During this period of time, the training intensity of Qingdao High School was not strong.
Their most important task is not to improve their strength by leaps and bounds in just a few days. It's about getting rid of the physical fatigue and keeping yourself in shape for the spring competition.
Sawamura Eijun, who was ordered by Kataoka Superintendent not to pitch, came to Rei Takashima's side with a belly full of fire.
At this time, he was also stunned by the crowd in front of him.
I'll go!
20 in a row, almost seven rows!
Isn't that how the joke works?
Except for the players who were specially invited by Takashima Rei, most of the others also have some strength.
It's just that they haven't been specially recruited by Qingdao High School, but it doesn't mean that they are not confident in their own strength.
It's not uncommon for people to think like Watanabe and only regard their baseball career as a club sport.
But compared with the number of more than 100 people, it seems to be very rare.
As long as you are not brain-dead, it is not difficult to imagine how rigorous the training of the Seido High School baseball team is on weekdays.
There are almost no people who come to the Qingdao High School baseball team with the idea of messing around.
Ninety percent of these 130 people have a baseball foundation.
How many full-time members are there in the Seido High School Baseball Club?
It's just 120 people.
In addition to the original 59 people, more than 30 people were specially recruited.
There are only about 30 places left.
Up to 2/3 elimination rate!
"Those who are qualified are regular members, and those who are not qualified are probationary members. Probationary members can withdraw at any time, and assessments will be held in the middle and at the end of each semester. This is an opportunity for a trainee to become a full-time member......"
Rei Takashima announced the rules of the assessment straight to the point.
Then the assessment officially begins.
The initial assessment is actually very simple, and it is nothing more than the foundation of some foundations.
First of all, pitching!
It depends on how far you pitch.
Don't underestimate this, it's hard to throw the ball far without special practice.
Pitching speed, power, accuracy, distance......
These are the criteria for assessment.
Qingdao High School has a special testing site, and the distance is even more than 110 meters at the longest.
After the order, Takashima Rei explained to Sawamura Eijun beside him.
"Every 10 meters is one point, and the maximum is 10. Of course, if a player throws more than 110 meters, it can also be counted as a bonus. ”
This last sentence was added by Rei Takashima temporarily.
Originally, he didn't plan to say this, and he probably didn't say it in previous years, but last year, there was really a weird guy in Qingdao High School.
In the first test, he threw 120 meters.
"Other than that, it's his accuracy. One point will be deducted for every half meter of deviation, up to a maximum of 10 points. Theoretically, this test is a 20-point test question, and the full score is also 20 points. ”
Sawamura picked up a pen and prepared to record without saying a word.
He was already holding back the fire in his belly, so he was naturally not in the mood to deal with the new juniors.
This cold attitude unexpectedly gained the attention of a group of little fans.
"That's Sawamura-senpai!"
"So handsome!"
"Looking at his handwriting posture, he is simply handsome."
"When I talk to the teacher, I also have a chic attitude......
The whispers around annoyed the blonde boy.
It's all crazy.
People make it clear that they love to ignore it, how do they interpret it as handsome?
Regardless of Sawamura's attitude?
The test began anyway.
At the beginning, the name I read was almost not familiar to Sawamura Eisun.
Most of these people chose to join after seeing the Qingdao results.
They have a clear goal, as long as they can become the main players of Seido High School. You can enter Koshien almost safely.
It's certainly a good challenge for them to be arrogant.
To tell the truth, the strength of these people is still quite terrifying, and the average score is 60 meters to 80 meters.
The deviation in the middle is not too big by two or three meters.
If you record a score, you can record a score of 13 or more.
A score of 13 points may seem inconspicuous, but if you put it in, it is measured in hundreds of thousands of high school balls. At the very least, they are at the upper middle level.
There are even some that can reach a terrifying fifteen or sixteen points.
"The standard is really good!"
If these guys don't come to Qingdao High School, there is no problem in becoming the main force in ordinary colleges and universities.
It's a pity that they came to the green road where monsters are gathered.
With this level, I want to get out of Seido High School.
I'm afraid they'll have to work harder.
After all, Qingdao High School is not as easy to mix as they imagined.
I have to say that Takashima Rei's eyes are still very vicious.
She said that the players she fancites are significantly higher than the average players.
Sixty or seventy people have been tested, and one person has made three balls.
By now, the farthest distance was 87 meters.
He also scored the highest at 16 points.
87 meters of long-distance pitching with an error of less than two meters.
This level has surpassed most of the second- and third-year players in the original three armies of Qingdao High School.
